JScript vs JavaScript differences doc?
hi! I cannot see where to find exactly what differences exist in Microsoft Jscript vs normal JS. I also have a hard time navigating the MS docs. Can you point me to where this is defined? thank you...

@Simon, that is helpful too! I am still hoping we can find a page about differences JScript vs ECMA javascript. I am new to all the flavors of JS so that would help me alot.

AlumniHi Anne,
TestComplete uses Microsoft JScript 5.7, which is an implementation of the ECMAScript 3 language specification with some non-ECMA additions. JavaScript in browsers is currently ECMAScript 5, I believe. I've found these lists of ECMAScript 5 features:
http://speakingjs.com/es5/ch25.html
http://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es5/
So basically that's the main difference between JScript and JavaScript.
The JScript language reference is in MSDN; here're links with the TOC tree:
JScript Reference
ECMA features in JScript
Non-ECMAScript features in JScript
Note: Features marked as JScript v. 5.8 aren't available in TestComplete.
Hope this helps!
